Sustainability In Missions

A couple weeks ago I had the privilege of sharing about “Sustainability in Missions” with the support staff of @ywamdavao in the Philippines. I did five, 2 hour lectures over 4 days. I’m grateful to Joe Thompson @jedidiahjourney who originally asked me to come up with a teaching on this topic for the @ywamhonolulu gateway. […]

Headed to the Philippines

It’s the night before we leave for the Philippines. For 3.5 months. We’re going with an amazing team. This is the longest either Jess or I have been overseas. It’s the first time we’ve travelled internationally with our kids. We’re going to plant a Bible Core Course (@bcchonolulu) at YWAM Davao. Jess and I have […]

Waikiki Hotels And Termites

Do people blog anymore?  When I get the rare chance to post some content I mostly do it on instagram and facebook.  Someone shared with us about a year ago that it was hard to find evidence of our ministry through our blog and updates.  I think that person forgot what it was like to […]

Robots and Truth

A quick story about robots and truth. I really like efficiency.  I like things to work well the first time.  I also do not enjoy recurring tasks. We have a human sized dog who sheds like a maniac.  His name is @hikarlthegreat and I love him.  He’d shed less if we brushed him more. But […]

I Didn’t Find Him… (Waikiki Homeless Outreach)

Yay a non stock photo this week! I didn’t find him. I went down to Waikiki homeless outreach last night, I rode with Spencer to pick up the pizzas.  I took notice of the reflections in the Papa John’s store window as I waited.  Diamond Head in the background and the sun starting to set […]

Don’t Talk About It Be About It (Waikiki Homeless Outreach)

I went down to Waikiki last night. Usually I have a Tuesday night meeting but last night ended up being free. YWAM Honolulu just restarted the Tuesday night homeless feeding that Pastor RK started years ago. He’s since moved his family to Paraguay and is doing missions work there, and around that time the homeless […]

The Role Of Dads

Here’s a photo of my dad (Russ Baker) and my son at last year’s family reunion.   My parents just became great grandparents again, my niece just had her baby. Congrats!   In my last post I talked about what we look at shapes who we are. Or you could say it another way: “what […]

We Mimic What We See

We mimic what we see.  So what are you choosing to put in front of you? “A” and I started playing a game where we take his stuffies and look out the window and we take turns telling each other what we see. It’s very interesting to see my son come home from hanging out […]

Home Church?

Doing church from home today as a family. Which is something new for us in this new season. And when I say home church with family, what I mean is I held “baby J” while Jess went back to sleep since she hasn’t slept more than 2 hours at a time for the past 6 […]

Early Morning Rant

Just call me Jocko Willink. Or jet lagged with a million things going through my mind. A couple people have commented on my lack of content lately. I must be a slow content creator because writing yesterday’s email update that could be read in like 2 minutes took me 3 hours to create. That’s why […]
